Path Type
Point to Point
At the northern end of this trail is a fork that connects to Gregory Bald Trail and Gregory Ridge Trail. The trails mostly follows the Long Hungry Ridge before dipping downhill towards Campsite 92. There are ample opportunities to gather water from small streams along this trail, depending on recent rainfall in the mountains. Just south of Campsite 92 is a fork in the trail - hikers can take Twentymile Loop Trail back to Wolf Ridge Trail, south along Twentymile Trail back to the Twentymile Ranger Station, or east towards the Shuckstack Fire Tower (and the Appalachian Trail (AT)).
